Snow Peak, a manufacturer of high-quality outdoor products, and Kozaburo, a New York-based fashion brand that connects Eastern and Western culture and spirituality, collaborate to present a collection based on the theme of "Nodate" (outdoor tea ceremony). The collaborated items reflect the spirit of KOZABURO and Snow Peak, under the shared value of mindfulness.

To further enrich the display of the new collection, Yoshitsugu Nagano, a tea master, will give a demonstration of Nodate using a combination of various Snow Peak products at Snow Peak Brooklyn .

There will also be a pop-up area offering matcha tea.

No advance reservations are necessary. Matcha will be offered while supplies last.
